Attack on Iran: We are toast.

I don't like toast. I prefer to have my bread un-toasted, thank you. With that in mind, I didn't ever think that I'd become one.Today's AkhbarAlkhaleejheadline "Israel requests an air passage over Iraq to attack Iran", is not something that I want to read while eating my daily un-toastedsandwich. I have nothing to do with both countries. However, I am stuck in the middle, sandwichedby the two (hence the toast analogy).Another very good reason for the analogy is the Nukes, which, if deployed, will do the actual toasting of my physical existence.The U.S. are not doing me any favours by this. Granting Israel their wish will at best increase shipping rates to astronomical figures (shippers will declare a premium for "war zones") and then my wallet will be toasted. All prices will just rocket along with the actual rockets.Most reasonable people are against such escalation, including a good number of US Generals, who the Times reported, said they'll quit if Bush orders the attack. Lets hope that the rest of the forces feel as strongly.
